[台灣關係法=TRA] 還能撐多久?! 自己國家還是要自已救!

Allen & All,
希望這篇分析報導有當頭棒喝之效!喚醒那些日夜夢想[認美國為乾爹],
把台灣前途的籌碼全押在[星條旗的檯面]上的朋友們,不要再一廂情願
以為TRA是台灣[唯一永遠有效的保命仙丹]!也請他們不要在雞蛋裡挑骨
頭,說些543的什麼:[台灣還不是國家,要怎麼救?]的混話!更不要以海市
宸樓般的空話,打擊台灣民心士氣;瓦解台灣人民的心防!
大家應該放空自己,團結一致,全力呼籲台灣人民,培養出:[堅定不移!
願為建國不惜犧牲生命的愛國情操!]這才是比F-16, F-22,甚至於F-35
更強而有力的武器!也只有最堅強的建國力量才能譜出最偉大的歷史樂章!
[必死之決心,不惜一戰的鬥志,以流血革命方式才為達成建國的終極手段!]
除此之外,台灣想要完成建國大業,沒有其他捷徑!
RK

Subject: [BATA] Taiwan Relations Act 面臨名存實亡, 自己國家還是要自已救!


Hello:



看起來軍售臺灣很不討喜. 下列今日出版的文章透露, 連太平洋美軍總司令都不看好今後美國之軍售臺灣. 本文亦透露: 目前美國甚至已不再考慮軍售日本戰機. 看起來為了討好中國, 美國已經大舉讓出太平洋西岸給中國了!



軍售臺灣是Taiwan Relations Act 的基石. 如果連軍售臺灣都被取消了, Taiwan Relations Act 就名存實亡了! 連Taiwan Relations Act 都面臨名存實亡, 一些還在努力運作認美國為父親的朋友們, 似乎應該休息一下了.



自己國家還是要自己救!

Obama in no-win situation over Taiwan arms sale

The United States and China have resumed military-to-military relations and are going full speed ahead, but the reforged ties are delicate, the U.S. military's top commander in the Pacific said Tuesday.

This spells trouble for Taiwan, which has been waiting for an answer from Barack Obama's administration as to whether a pending arms deal will go through -- the very deal that could scuttle the newly renewed U.S.-China military dialogue.

The People's Republic of China cut off military-to-military relations with the United States following the 2008 sale of arms to Taiwan by the George W. Bush administration. Now there is a new weapons deal with Taiwan in the works, which Adm. Timothy J. Keating, who heads Pacific Command (Pacom), warns could result in China severing mil-to-mil ties again if it goes through.

"If the administration were to announce a new round of Taiwanese arms sales, I'm sure the Chinese would say ‘We have the right to consider turning off mil-to-mil relations,'" Keating said.

According to reports, China made a plea for the U.S. to scrap the planned $6.5 billion arms sale to Taiwan during a June visit to Beijing by Michèle Flournoy, the under secretary of defense for policy. Flournoy's visit was also where the Chinese agreed to resume the mil-to-mil discussions.

Pacom's strategic planning and policy head, Major Gen. Randolph D. "Tex" Alles, followed up by traveling to Beijing after Flournoy. A team of U.S. logistics officials also visited China as part of a multilateral conference, and more port visits and other meetings are expected.

U.S. Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates is not expected to visit China again anytime soon, because it is his Chinese counterpart's turn, according to diplomatic protocol.

Meanwhile, the arms deal with Taiwan, which is composed mostly of F-16 fighter jets, remains in limbo. The Taiwan government has been waiting for but has not received any response from the new White House, diplomatic sources told The Cable.

In recent years, China has beefed up its military capabilities across the Taiwan Strait, raising questions about the island not-quite-nation's ability to defend itself in the unlikely event of an attack from the mainland.

Taiwan's President Ma Ying-jeou has made four transits through the United States, during which he lobbied for the F-16 sale to sympathetic political figures such as Arizona Sen. John McCain. Part of Taiwan's argument is the estimated 4,000-5,000 jobs that the sale might create at the Lockheed Martin factory in Texas.

But Taiwan has been no match for the counter-lobbying from the Chinese side, including a direct warning on the matter to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton during the U.S.-China Strategic and Economic Dialogue in Washington in July, the sources said.

The clock is ticking for Taiwan, because its parliament has already budgeted the funds for the weapons but would have to start its acquisition process over if no answer is proffered by the end of the year. But Taiwan's government has no illusions that the Obama team would sacrifice its military connection with China or risk an ambitious bilateral agenda that includes climate change, energy, and a host of trade and other economic issues.

Interestingly, Keating said that the pace of Chinese buildup of missiles opposite Taiwan has slowed, but he couldn't offer an explanation for that development.

On Japan, Keating said that the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Ministry of Defense were still expressing interest in buying F-22 Raptor fighters from the U.S., but that it didn't look good because the Obey amendment, named for Wisconsin Democratic Rep. David Obey, preventing their export would likely remain in effect and the production line was shutting down.

"The Japanese would like to buy the F-22, but we're not going to sell it to them," said Keating.

He claimed not to know anything beyond published reports about discussions with Japan about removing U.S. fighter jets from that country and said such discussions are going on all the time.
